Cell Reproduction Mitosis Flashcards
1
Q
Prophase
A
- Nuclear envelope dissolves
- Chromosomes thicken
Chromosomes visible
Spindle forms as centrioles move
2
Q
Metaphase
A
- Spindle forms
- Chromosomes line up
Chromosomes line up along equator
3
Q
Anaphase
A
- Diploid to Haploid
- Being pulled apart to end of cell (polls)
Chromatids separate
4
Q
Telaphase
A
- Nuclear envelope reappears
- Cytoplasm starts to divide (furrow)
Nuclear membrane forms on each side
Cytokinesis begins
5
Q
Cytokinesis
A
- Cell plates completely formed
- Completion of nuclear envelope
Division of the cytoplasm that results in 2 daughter cells
6
Q
Interphase
A
- Growth
- Synthesis
Resting
Longest Phase
7
Q
Apoptosis
A
Programmed cell death
If any checks fail can divide so many times til they die
8
Q
Mitosis
A
Division of the nucleus that results in identical complete copies of chromosomes packaged into 2 new nuclei
9
Q
Why do cells divide?
A
Growth
Reproduction
Repair
10
Q
Neoplasm
A
Abnormal growth of cells
11
Q
Benign
A
Non cancerous
12
Q
Malignant
A
Cancerous
13
Q
Cancer
A
Cellular growth disorder that results from mutation of genes that regulate the cell cycle
14
Q
Cancer cells
A
Lack differentiation
Have abnormal nuclei
Forms tumors
Undergo metastasis & angiogenesis
15
Q
Hell Cell
A
Cell type in an immortal cell line used in scientific research, oldest and most commonly used human cell line
